Ballet for children

Coordination, muscle building, stimulation of the imagination, joy in movement, musicality – step by step learning to dance: Children as of 4 years in our “Early Dance Education” (TFE) classes are gently and playfully lead toward classical ballet, in the form of playful exercises. From 5 Years of age, (TS) further dance elements are added.

From the age of 6 or after enrollment in elementary school, a transition to our children’s ballet classes Level 1-4 (KB 1-4), takes place in which the classical Vaganova method of ballet is carefully taught from the very beginning.

Simple choreographic dances expand the children’s practice.

Ballet for young adults

Coordination, fitness, body awareness, the joy of movement – dance as a beloved hobby. Ballet enthusiasts from 13 years can train in our youth ballet classes at different levels (JB starters, 1-5) once to three times a week with a very high quality of training without the pressure to perform. There is no requirement to have aspirations of becoming a professional dancer.

The joy of dancing and the building of a positive, strong body are the focus of the training.

For newcomers without prior knowledge, we offer in the youth ballet starter (JB Starter) the opportunity to learn ballet step by step.

Ballet for adults

Fitness, body sensation, aesthetics, the joy of dancing – Ballet for all ages: Dance-loving adults of all ages can train in our adult ballet classes Level 1-4 (Starter – Basic – Medium – Advanced) Classical Ballet.

New since 2022: “BalletFit” – a ballet-based fitness workout with elements of classical ballet, yoga and Pilates.

The open-ended EB classes offer maximum flexibility so that ballet lessons and a busy schedule are well-suited to study, work, and family.

The Vaganova Classes

The classical ballet training and the syllabus of steps intensify when a child moves into the Waganowa classes. The student has the possibility of expanding his/her dance capabilities by adding other subjects, such as character dance, or modern dance to his/her curriculum. The number of hours invested increase to having lessons three or more times a week.

The aim is to motivate ballet-loving and physically gifted children and adolescents and, depending on their ambitions (serious hobby, career aspirations) to enable them to transfer into our academy or to open their way to further (state) institutions.

Pilates / Core, Strength & Stretching (CSS)

Pilates or “CSS” is a full-body stabilization and strength training that focuses especially on the core.

Training is primarily on mats lying down, where special pilate balls are used. The Pilates training with Benedict Manniegel is suitable and available for those over 16 years. No previous experience is necessary.
